King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp, along with Fleur East and James McVey, surprised an undoubtedly ecstatic audience as they got up on stage with Rita and attempted to do the floss – a dance that involves moving your hips in a way that defies both physics and human biology.

And they were all dreadful at it, as can be seen in the video McVey shared on Instagram.

Alongside the video, McVey wrote: "In a bizarre turn of events, I have beaten Theresa May, winning the award for worst dance attempt of the year, just in the nick of time. Great. Catch me on Strictly, 2019. #skiing."

John Barrowman, who wasn't there and was instead enjoying being back in LA, commented: "OMG James you still need to work on it!", while Harry's son Jamie wrote: "You've nailed it!" along with a bunch of crying laughing emojis – suggesting the football pundit was perhaps being a little sarcastic.
